Food Hero Tuesday: Katie Amara Forster

Note from the Editor: Every Tuesday, TFT HK will bring you a post or article from/about one of our local or global food heroes. These are people who inspire us, and whose visions align with the values that TFT espouses and promotes. This week's post is an interview with Katie Amara Forster, HK PR guru, restaurant launcher, food writer/editor, and foodie. Katie is currently a Director at Golin Harris; has written pieces for Hip Hong Kong, Crave, and Foodie; and has edited numerous food and wine books (she's even ghostwritten for Joel Robuchon!). Katie, we at TFT HK salute you!

Katie in the kitchen!

Hi Katie! Ok, first thing's first: tell us about yourself!

I was born in Singapore and raised in Hong Kong bar a rather unfortunate stint at UK boarding school. I graduated with an English Literature degree but am a lover of all things creative, not just the written word. I travel more than most but less than I’d like. I don’t really have one exceptional skill… I generally just live life trying to create beautiful things whether that be through words, art, music or food! I work in public relations and I think it ties in with that motto – my job it to take something unknown and seemingly uninteresting, and create a compelling story about it.
